don’t take advice from someone who isn’t where you want to be.
if you want to know what it takes to be a successful photographer, ask a successful photographer.
if you want to know what it takes to be a good doctor, ask a good doctor.
if you want to know what it takes to be a great writer, ask a great writer.
if you want to know what it takes to have a happy marriage, ask someone who has a happy marriage.
if you want to know what it takes to be rich, ask someone rich.
luckily, the rich write books on how they got to where they are.
